I didn't have him as first choice but thought he'd do ok, how wrong I was he is pure dog shit

I feel the same, many of us do. Thing is, when someone is brought into a club to save them from relegation, doing that is usually enough, and cause for celebration even. Itís the measure of our club, and its fans, that this isnít enough. We demand more, and we cannot accept performances like Saturday vs Arsenal, no matter how ďtacticalĒ the line-up was in relation to saving players for the next game.

I bet Swansea are glad they never went for a footballing shithouse as the only option for keeping them up . I bet an Allardyce inspired team have never beaten anyone 8-1 . That's not to say Carvahal will be there in a year knowing Swansea but top marks for not bottling the appointment .

He was a bit of a leftfield appointment, almost looked as if they were planning for coming back up again should the inevitable happen. I suppose when you think outside the box it can either go horribly wrong or surprisingly well.Of course they may still go down but they've not taken a regressive step like we have and the players look full of energy to have a good go of it.

135 Naas today Allardyce @9/4...first line of the horses description states "generally consistent with his finishing positions" then goes on "distance of his defeats a major concern".....got to be worth wasting a free bet on...

Has there ever been a case of an interim-manager getting the duties twice in the same season?

The early success that Alardyce enjoyed was mostly down to the Unsworth set-up that he established for the West Ham game.

Then he began to swap and change with disastrous results. All the players needed was continuity in a winning system and team selection. Unsworth finally made it happen and then in walked our 'saviour'. So far, what he says and what he does appear to be two different things.
